We hear it is proposed to erect large
brick building by several parties, on the CO.
operative plan. The carrying ont of this
idea generally would be profitable to indi-
viduals concerned, while it would build up
the town more rapidly and cheaply than 1t
can be done by any other plan.

Last week under head of "The

an outline of the W. G. L. U.
plan of the campaign for the

In calling the special meeting OF
our State Executive Committee, a
number of tried and true gentle

to attend the meeting and give us
the benefit of their counsel. In
response General Harris, Mr.. W. b.
Smith Sr. and Mr.. Dave D. John
son were present and gave us valu'
BILE aid and most encouraging cheer
Of the letters received, regretting
inability to attend the meeting, we

Sorry l can't meet with you and

MY DEAR SISTER:
The great cry of our work is
"want of money" and we are con-
stantly devising ways to increase
our funds. The secure way is by
increasing our membership the fees
though small, are certain income,
besides the added interest which
must come with greater numbers.
There is now, too, a generous
pleasant rivalry in our states for
increase to gain one'of the banners
provided in Miss Wizards letter
in Union Signala little while back.
We enclose you sample of our
enrolment tablet. Every membe
of w. G. 7. u. should carry one
constantly and be on the alert to
secure the names of her friends.
frequently these may not be active
but if their influence and endorse
ment, pledge and membership fee
is obtained, much is gained to US.
Will you not urge the use of this
tablet, as help to our organiza-
ton. We furnish them at 60 cents
per hundred, postpaid, or 10 cents
per dozen send to Mrs. c. B. Buell.

Wheeling, March End 1887.
Mrs. johnson, Prest. w. G. L. U.
Dear Friend,
am anxious to be at your meet
ing tomorrow and will be present
unless business emergency pre-
vents.
The main work for the Amend
ment must be done this year, SO we
cannot begin too soon.
In this city there is such a weak,
timid anti-llquor sentiment that
we can hardly tell what We may
expect from our people.
Still we hope to be able to get
help for organization and for the
Amendment campaign generally.
While | want every one to do
his best, yet l am perfectly conf
dent of the Ratification of the
Amendment.
The first thing to do is to give
the Freeman a much wider circu-
lation.
This is an absolute necessity.
Gen. Harris has plan, and has
written me several letters on the
subject. He is brim full of enthus-
iasm. We can't do better than fol-
low his lead on the paper plan.
And the plan of campaign sug-
gested for the W. G.. T. U. cannot
be bettered as general work sys.
tenn. Let us all to work and we will
win. | am with you entirely,
in sympathy and desire, and will
join in the work just as far as
my business will let mo loose.
Hoping to be. with you tomorrow,
Yours Truly

Keyser Mar. LIST, 1887.
A more tempting offer than the
above could not have been made
the Executive Committee. Beauti-
full for situation in its nest among
the mountains, known for the
royal hospitality of its inhabi-
tants, the Elk Com. reluctantly de-
cided its location not sufficiently
central to the organized Unions to
make it the most suitable place
for meeting. 1t was deemed very
important to have full representa-
ton at the coming Convention
which will be the most impor tant
that has been held by our organi-
cation. This could not be secur ed
at Keyser. Fairmont cordially
invited the Convention but at this
writing neither place nor date
have as yet been definitely
fixed.
